Opening speech of the Russian Defence Minister at the Board Session of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation
Main theses
The Russian Federation remains a reliable guarantor of the security of its citizens.
The events of recent months clearly demonstrate how important it is for Russia to continue improving the Armed Forces.
The Russian Army fulfills the tasks set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief during a special military operation. The plan for the liberation of the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics is being consistently implemented, and measures are being taken to establish peaceful life.
Russian servicemen participating in the operation show courage and heroism in the performance of military duty.
The United States and controlled Western countries are doing everything to prolong the special military operation as much as possible.
The actions of our troops and the quality of the weapons used once again show the correctness of the priorities defined by the military and political leadership of the country for the development of the Russian Armed Forces.
The consistent implementation of the Ministry of Defence's action plan is aimed at further development of the army and navy and providing them with advanced military equipment. The introduction of new methods of warfare will make it possible to better adapt troops to modern conditions of armed confrontation.
Much attention is paid to health issues and the implementation of social guarantees. We continue to provide military personnel of the district and their families with service and permanent housing. For the current year, 758 people have already moved into service apartments, and 849 servicemen have been provided with permanent housing, including under the military mortgage program.
The Ministry of Defence is constantly monitoring the military security of Russia's Arctic zone. The Northern Fleet solves its tasks in the face of a sharp aggravation of the military-political situation in Europe, increased tension and growing threats.
Traditionally, an important area of work in the Northern Fleet is scientific and research activities. Last year, together with the Russian Geographical Society, the expedition "Remember the War" was organized. Such a large-scale search activity was not carried out either in Soviet times or after.
The systematic re-equipment and enhancement of the capabilities of the signals troops continues. Over the past five years, more than 20 new communication facilities and complexes have been created, over 110 thousand units of modern communication equipment have been delivered, as a result, their share has increased to 72%. To maintain the orbital communications group, the second upgraded Meridian-M communications satellite was launched in March this year.
The development of the communication system of the Armed Forces follows the path of using advanced telecommunications technologies, including the introduction of artificial intelligence elements. Their use has already made it possible to reduce the time of bringing target designation to complexes of high-precision long-range weapons, such as Kalibr and Kinzhal tenfold.
